New York, NY – Since 1951, myFace, formerly the National Foundation for Facial Reconstruction, offers the gift of confidence and hope to children and adults with craniofacial deformities and their families by assuring them access to cutting-edge and personalized team care from the world-class practitioners at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (IRPS) at NYU Langone Medical Center.
myFace is proud to host Races for Faces 2014, a walk-a-thon and fun-filled family day in beautiful Riverside Park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan to raise money and awareness for children living with facial deformities. We will have lots of fun activities for children of all ages and their families including exciting games, raffles, arts and crafts, obstacle courses and many surprises to come!
We will walk through beautiful Riverside Park starting at the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial at 83rd Street, walk up to 101st Street, go down on the waterfront and walk back to 83rd Street where we go back into the Park for closing ceremonies.
WHY WE WALK
OUR PATIENTS
- 49% are age six or younger; 36% ages 6-18; 15% ages 19 or older.
- 70% are from families living at or below the poverty level and receive treatment at little or no charge.
- 95% remain in care that spans an entire childhood costing into the hundreds of thousands.
We walk to support our friends and family born with a craniofacial condition.
We walk to raise awareness and to help spread the myFace mission.
This year our goal is to raise $300,000!
